New Volunteer
Program at EMC
to Help Prevent
Child Abuse
A new program at Eastern
Montana College will use
volunteers to work with
families to try to prevent child
abuse.
The program, Volunteers for
Families in Stress, is funded for
nine months by a $26,361 grant
from the Department of Health
and Human Services, says
James Corson, project
coordinator. Director is Dr.
Billie Thomas of Eastern, who
applied for the grant following
her work with other child abuse
programs.
"The goal is to recruit
community volunteers who will
befriend an abusive parent,"
Corson says. "The volunteer
will be a friend they can turn to,
that they can talk to about
problems. The person could
serve as a role model or a friend
to learn some parenting skills
from." Volunteers, who will
receive -training under- the
program, will not be asked to
provide therapy, he stresses.
Although this is the first
program of its kind in

Montana, similar programs in
other parts of the country have
proved that "a warm and caring
volunteer can play a vital role
in breaking the established
cycle of abuse," Corson says.
"Abusive parents are often
isolated, with no one to talk to.
They may not be aware of
better ways to do things."
Families in need will be
referred from the Yellowstone
County Child Protective
Service and the Battered
Spouses program, Corson says.
Corson, married and the
father of two children, spent
31/2 years as director of the
Billings Voice for Children. He
also has been a social worker
for the Big Horn County
Department of Public Welfare.
He also has worked with the
Head Start program. He is a
member of the Riverside

resident of Billings since 1971.

Once again, the time has come for the student body to
exercise its right to vote. Included in this issue are the
photos and platforms of those students running for the
positions of president, vice president, or business manager
of the ASEMC student government. This diverse
selection of candidates offers many realms of interest and
experience to the students. Because of the time and effort
these candidates put into their campaigns, the least EMC
students can do is show their respect by casting ballots.
The last student election had an almost ignored voter
turnout of 14.7 percent (632 of 4276 possible students).
Unfortunately, that 14.7 percent voter turnout was "the best
turnout we've ever had," according to Lowell Dunlop, dean
of students.
This figure speaks loudly for the amount of student
apathy on the Eastern campus.
Consequently, it is time students made the effort to find
voting tables. The RETORT goes to the trouble to inform
everyone of the candidates up for election, by printing their
photos and platforms. In fact, these are promptly displayed
at the voting tables. It takes only a few minutes to read
through each platform and come to a decision.
Take a little time to show some interest in your student
and campus activities. Any attempt is noticed and greatly
appreciated.
Maybe, in this election, that 14.7 percent can become a
thing of the past.

Student Interest
Needed in EMC
Student Voting
Linda Guckeen
There's a rising controversy
about whether colleges should
offer remedial courses to their
freshmen students. The
opinion is that students should
have learned these basics in
high school, and that colleges
should not offer remedial
courses as a method of filtering
out undesirable students. This
is evidently an unthought-out
theory, as the college
environment is constantly
changing with the overall
economy.
The traditional student aged
18-22 may not be the most
desirable. Some students are
just not ready for college
immediately after high school
graduation and may want to
work a few years before
continuing their educations.
With rising life expectancies
and statistics indicating that
people change their careers up
to five times or more in a
lifetime, what's the rush to be
president of the corporation?
Many students who lack
guidance and motivation, and
who do poorly in high school,
may, after a stint in the outside
world, come to the realization
that they are ready for more
education. Intelligence as
measured by IQ tests and
entrance exams is not
necessarily an accurate
measure of predicting
performance. Psychological
studies indicate that there is a
trade-off between intelligence
and motivational attitude.
Whereas a highly intelligent
student with a poor attitude
may do failing work, a low IQ
student with a positive attitude
can do superior work.
Furthermore, grades and
intelligence quotients are
meaningless in the real world;
for here, performance is all that
counts.
In Japanese factories, the
young, physically fit and strong
do the most strenuous work. As
the workers age, they take on
less physically demanding jobs.
In the process, they're
constantly trained and
retrained for as many related
jobs as possible, making them
highly efficient and versatile.
This is not to say that we should
copy Japanese methods (for
their education system with
"exam hell" is much more
stringent than ours), but we
could use those methods that
work for us here.
Let's not forget one
significant change in our
economy, working women:
displaced, divorced and
unskilled. To further
complicate this, the aging, the
unemployed and computer
technology indicate a new
important need for re-educating
our populace.
Statistics forecast that while
presently information is
doubling every five to six years,
by the year 2000, information
will double every 35 days.
Computer technology appears
to be directed at our youth and
is introduced as early as the
third grade in our elementary
schools. What about the older
people of our society; are they
to be left out? What chance
does this give those who have
finished their educations years
ago to be competitive in the
computer technology which is
taking over the world?
And why even try to increase
our life expectancies if it merely
means that the aged will dole
off the Social Security System
for the extra years their lives
are increased? If we want to live
longer, we need to be
productive longer and to
change with the times.
It's time to start undoing the
damage our educations system
did to pre-1970s educated
women, who were led to believe
they didn't have the capacity or
need for certain realms of
thought such as the hard
sciences. It's time to welcome
back all non-traditional
students to the world of
education. Just because they
didn't have the motivation or
opportunity to pursue and/ or
succeed in the past doesn't
mean they are hopeless.
Psychological studies indicate
that older people have a
capacity to learn comparable
with the young: it just takes a
bit longer because they have
stored-up knowledge to move
around in order to assimilate
the new. Thus, they're not so
apt to jump to quick
conclusions.
Also, why is there such a
passion that our youth are the
most desirable students? Child
labor laws and mandatory
education levels were created
mainly to keep the youth out of
the labor market so there
would be more jobs for the rest
of the population.
We need to re-think our
educational system. With a
declining 18-22 year old
population and enrollment
level, and an increasing non-traditional
population entering
college, remedial classes may
be the best method of transition
for those students who have
been absent from the classroom
for an extended period of time.
The students pay for them
without credit. The little
encouragement and confidence
offered through remedial
classes in the beginning may
even help colleges maintain
enrollment levels. In the long
run, the country may be able to
maintain educational and
technological competition with
the other countries by making
use of resources which
otherwise may remain
dormant.

(NOCR) Coed fraternities
are gaining strength away from
their traditional East Coast
home. At Stanford U., male
and female members of the
Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity
decided recently to relinquish
their national affiliation rather
than stop admitting women.
The fraternity began accepting
female members in 1973. Ten
Northwestern U. students
recently founded that school's
first coeducational Greek
group. Chi Omega Rho will
hold its own separate rush
and hopes to have a house next
year.
A computer error sent bills
to all 404 midyear graduates of
Marquette U. The students
were informed that their
diplomas would be withheld
until they paid past-due fees.
Only 60 of the seniors were
supposed to get the warnings.
The university apologized-also
by mail-to the grads who got
the letters accidentally.
NOCO the penguin is the
symbol of an effort to unite
residents of seven North
Complex dormitories on the
Michigan State U. campus.
Two students created the bird,
whose friendly face has shown
up on mailbox stickers,
publicity posters, and in person
at a dining hall. NOCO is
helping to promote joint
recreational activities, which
residence hall officals hope
will create a greater sense of
identity for the North Complex
dorms.
College gift certificates
didn't go over too big this year,
but will probably be back next
Christmas season. Greenfield
(MA) Community College sold
about 40 of its certificates,
good for tuition, textbooks, or
other campus expenses.
Creighton sold 20 certificates
good for non-credit classes.
Both schools said they waited
too late in the season to
promote the idea and will get
an earlier start next year.

Campaigning for office and
fulfilling the duties of office
relate directly to the skills I
have developed as a third year
communications major. I
would like to utilize these skills
by facilitating communication
between ASEMC and the
student body. This would
enable me to more accurately
represent the views of the
student body in student
government and to the
administration. I would like to
see the student body more
closely involved with its
government and would hope
that I could be of service in
accomplishing this.
Public relations is a large
part of the President's job, and
public relations is an area in
which I plan to seek
employment. I have prior
experience in public relations
and in holding office from
serving as secretary, vice
president, and president of an
area fine arts organization;
working in a small town bank;
and working on a county
newspaper. I am currently vice
president of the Non-
Traditional Students' Organi-zation,
and in this capacity
have worked with the EMC
administration. Another
valuable communication skill
is public speaking; I was the
winner of the 1981 EMC
Speech Contest and feel that
this kind of ability can greatly
enhance any office.
I view holding the office of
President and contending with
the issues facing ASEMC as a
challenge to be enjoyed,
learned from, and successfully
met, to the best of my ability.

Once again, the time has
come to elect an Executive
Cabinet for the upcoming year.
Student Government on
Eastern's campus consists of
Sixteen Senators, a business
manager, Vice-President,
President, and various other
committees. The people
holding the positions of Bs.
Mgr., V.P., and Pres. make up
the "Executive Cabinet." I will
be the only person seeking to
return to the executive cabinet.
Both the President and Bs.
tanager will be graduating. I
will be giving up my position of
Vice-President to seek the
position of President. It's
important to have this
experience at the head of
Student Government.
Most of what directly affects
us as students happens right
here on campus. Having served
on Student Government for
two years, one as a senator and
the other as vice-president, I
feel I know the students,
faculty, and administrators
who make Eastern what it is. I
will be able to take this
knowledge and keep these
acquaintances I've made as
Vice President into the office of
ASEMC President. With your
vote, I can retain a position on
the Executive Cabinet and
offer leadership and experience
to the newly elected Executive
Cabinet and senators for next
year.
Please consider my
background and experience
and previous positions when
you vote for ASEMC President
in February.
Keep Red Cross

learned a lot from the various
meetings. In my personal
opinion, I feel ASEMC

Hi, I'm Cathy Butts and I
want to work for you, the
student body of EMC, as your
vice-president. This will be my
third year at Eastern, and I will
be a fifth year senior with time
to devote to your needs. As a
past student senator at a junior
college, I feel I have a good
working experience with
Student government. Presently
I am a ROTC cadet and
secretary-treasurer of Psi Chi.
Your Student activity fee -
everyone pays this and I would
like to see everyone benefit
from the use of the fee. Money
is always top on the list of any
candidate's campaign. I am
open to suggestions of how you
would like to have your funds
distributed. More major
curriculums and more graduate
programs are a few of the
things I would like to look into.
Through working part time
and going to college, I feel I
have gained a good working
relationship with people.
If you have any ideas,
suggestions or thoughts on
your student government and if
I am elected to the vice-presidency,
my door will
always be open. I want to work
for you! Please vote for me on
Feb. 16.

I am a Junior working
toward a degree in Elementary
Education. My family and I
have lived in Billings for 18
years. During that time I have
been active in church, school
accomplish: I would like to
work toward a centralized
student advisory system in each
department. I would like to
enhance the public image of
our college. I will be available
to the student body to better
represent their views. And
lastly, I wish to get the total
student body involved in
Eastern and Eastern's
activities.
ASEMC. I would also be the
chairperson of the Ways and
Means Committee of Student
Senate and, therefore, be
responsible for the ASEMC
budgets. This would include
advising the student govern-ment
of all income and
expenditures of student funds.
My prior involvement in
campus organizations has
brought me to the conclusion
that student monies should be
allocated and spent in the most
justifiable way possible.
Although I may not have as
much pertinent experience as
my opponent, I feel I have an
objective attitude, enthusiasm,
and dedication needed to fill
the position of ASEMC
Business Manager.
Mike Dallas
You, the students, deserve a
dedicated Vice President. Open
communication between senate
and the student body is
essential because your concerns
cannot be addressed unless you
make them known. If elected, I
would keep regularly scheduled
office hours. Officers in the
past have not done this and,.
thus, were not always available
to the students.
Some previous officers have
also held outside jobs. This
takes time that should be
'devoted to helping the students
of EMC.
I feel I am well qualified for
this position. I have been
involved in many campus-wide
activities and organizations.
These include accounting club,
Alpha Psi Kappa, being a
member of EMC's track and
cross country teams, serving on
Rec. Activities council and a
current senator. Your money is
paying the ASEMC officer's
salaries.
Get the most for your
money! Vote Mike Dallas for
Vice President.

The position of ASEMC
Business Manager for the 1983-
84 year appeals to me because I
am an accounting major.
During the past 2 years I have
served as a student senator and
been on the Senate Ways &
Means Committee. I am well
acquainted with the needs of
both traditional and non-traditional
students as I have
lived in the dorms for the past 3
years and been actively
involved as a Board member of
the Triangle Day Care Center.
At registration, each full-time
student pays an activity
fee of $20 per quarter, resulting
in approximately $200,000 per
year for your Student
Government to allocate to
various activities and
organizations on EMC's
campus. If elected, I would do
my best to see that this money is
spent so students would receive
the maximum benefits. My
past experience qualifies me for
the Business Manager position.
I have maintained a cumulative
GPA of 3.53 and am employed
by the Accounting Department
in the Accounting Lab. I have
also been active in the
Accounting Club.
Your vote on February 16th
would be greatly appreciated.

As vice-president of the St.
Pius Parent Teacher Organi-zation,
I worked in organizing
and implementing several
successful fund raising drives.
One of these drives resulted in
acquiring some desperately
needed AV equipment for the
school.
While secretary for the
Minutemen Search and Rescue

successful fund-raising drive
that resulted in a resuscitator
that has since saved many lives.
Because of these fund-raising

Day, and Spam art
Gary Anderson
Do you still believe in
waltzes, love songs, dreams
coming true, happy endings?
That's what I like about
Valentine's Day. Hope your
heart was set aflame.
On with generic news:
Okay, so forcing students in the
classroom to pray should be
illegal. But is forcing them not
to pray an answer? Probably
not. Alabama has been
struggling with the problem
more than anyone recently.
Last week Supreme Court
Justice Powell banned, I
repeat, banned Alabama
teachers from leading prayers
in classrooms. Granted
separation of church and state
should be more clearly stated.
The constitution does not come
right out and say that prayer is
not allowed in public schools.
Without getting terribly saintly
here, knowing the power of
God, I doubt that you can stop
a kid from praying when he
wants to. A good Christian
doesn't force his beliefs
anyway.
Print spoof of the week: Side by
side stories in Last Friday's
Gazette: "Film on nuclear war
set Tuesday" also "Women's
Aglow meets Thursday." This
brings up the old fact, "Nuke
now, Glow later."
If you get a chance, thank the
kids who went up to Helena on
Tuesday for Lobby Day. Sure
it was a free trip and excused
absence, but it was also a long
bus ride. Those folks spent the
whole day talking to the state
legislature and requesting
money in specific areas for our
school. It must be a dream, no
matter how low on the ladder
you are in life, to have the
power to even almost persuade
your government. Getting up at
3:00 in the morning to do it,
however, is not a dream.
I saw a crosswalk guard the
other day with his winter parka
lying on the ground beside the
stop sign. It was, oh, 55 degrees
outside and he was running
LUNCHBOX THEATRE

The first, which appears this
Friday and next Friday in LI
231 at noon, is the Diary of
Adam and Eve.
Music and lyrics of the show
ere written by Jerry Bock and
Sheldon Harnick of Fiddler on
the Roof fame. The Diary of
Adam and Eve is based on a
around chasing the kids who
had stolen his flourescent
orange vest. Does he realize
how good he has had it this
winter? Average temp so far in
the winter months of 1983 has
been about 40-45 degrees. I had
to double check the news-paper's
name after reading the
forecast for last Thursday and
make sure it wasn't San Diego's
home newspaper. "Warm and
windy today,' high 60." Yup,
The Billings Gazette. I went to
buy anti-freeze and the clerk
said, "What for?" Just so my ice
scraper doesn't gather dust and
McDonald's sacks in the back
seat, I'm using it to carve my
famous Spam engravings.

The lives of the first Valentine's
Day couple are explored from
their experience with the snake
to the first family.
The cast includes Gary
Anderson as Adam, Maureen
Manning as Eve and John
Gribas as the snake. Directing
the noontime production is
Richard R. Moss.

"Murder Most
Fowl" Entertains at
Calamity Janes
Nick Campbell
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Murder Most Fowl, a
murder-mystery musical
comedy playing at Calamity
Janes through March 5, will
keep you clucking with its on-stage
hi-jinx.
Written by Tracy Maryfield
and Todd Yeager, Murder Most
Fowl is the story of a wealthy
chicken tycoon and the guests
he has invited to his mansion,
Fowl Manors. Sir Egbert
Henway is mysteriously
murdered in act one and all of
his guests are suspects.
Henway is played pluckily by
Todd Yeager. Karen Yeager
portrays Mrs. Debleuse,
Henway's sinister housekeeper.
Together these two support this
production.
Lloyd Hagen does a
tolerable job as Sir Henway's
Oriental houseboy. He is the
subject of many corny Chinese
jokes.
Major Frederick Muck-bottom
is played by Neal
Roberts. Muckbottom is
Henway's old friend who
rattles on and on about his
numerous escapades. Roberts
However, Roberts does have
that air of an English officer.
Reggie Bounderfield is
Rosalie Henway's (Egbert's
daughter) dance instructor,
who is having an affair with
Egbert's wife, Tracy Mayfield
captures the sophisticated look
of an English bachelor in this
role, but his accent is lacking
and he could use a lot of help in
his singing. Again, why does he
sing when he can't even hum a
tune? Possibly these musical
numbers could be delted and
save the audience's ears.
Marilyn Combs is the
promiscuous Lady Trixie St.
John Henway, Egbert's horny
wife. Combs has the scuddy
personality down pat in
playing Trixie the nympho-maniac.
Unfortunately, her
singing is awful and
unnecessary. Mayfield and
Yeager could have easily left
the bad voices out of the songs.
Kathleen Folty is Rosalie,
who can neither dance nor sing,
but, at least, is portrayed that
way. She is also having an
affair with Reggie.
The Yeagers make this show
work. Karen's singing is grand.
She belts out a helluva tune.
Her funeral number is
hilarious. Todd also really gets
into the music. he also portrays
Egbert's Inspector brother and
his sister, Dame Agatha
Henway. The Inspector
chasing after the maid is quite
comical. Their rolling around
on the stage is typical of their
chaotic humor.
The play is definitely Yeager
style, with some offbeat humor
from Mayfield. It is written to
work specifically on the
Calamity Jane stage.
Lynda McCleary directs this
production. The scenes are
somewhat jumbled, especially
in the first act. A little more
coaching from the director
would smooth these rough
spots. McCleary is also
costume designer but must
have neglected this area,
because much of the actors'
attire is too large. This aspect
does provide some extra

cannot sing, so why make him?
His rendition of "Mad Dogs

Jackets Capture Three
in Home Finale
Eastern Streaks by Rocky
Bob McClintock
Eastern successfully
finished off their final home
stand of the 1982-83 season
with three victories (two in
conference play) in action-packed
games at the
Yellowstone Metra last week.
The Yellowjackets won
their first game by streaking
past Rocky Mountain College
67-57, slugged it out with Puget
Sound for a 93-79 decision, and
then handcuffed Seattle Pacific
for an 89-73 win.
In the first contest of the
week last Tuesday, EMC used a
nine point surge midway
through the first half to take a
23-14 lead. The two teams then
swapped baskets until the last
minute of the half, when EMC
poured in six points for a 35-22
intermission advantage.
After a Bear (or bare) fan
demonstrated his inter-pretation
of a fast break at the
11:45 mark, Eastern unleashed
eight straight points to take a
51-34 lead. The pace of the
game opened up in the last
seven minutes as the Jackets
rolled in 18 points and Bears
made 23, giving Eastern a 10
point margin victory.
Physical was the key word
in Eastern's Thursday night
triumph over Puget Sound.
UPS and EMC compiled 53
fouls, four technicals
(including one for throwing toy
balls at the referees), had a
bench clearing brawl, and by
the end of the game, six players
were on the bench.
The matchup started out
at a fast pace with the Jackets
grabbing a 19-10 advantage
with 13:10 left in the first half.
From there the Loggers were
held to only outside shots and
Eastern capitalized on
defensive rebounds to move to
a 47-36 halftime lead.
The game see-sawed back
and forth until the 11:37 mark
when Ron Osborne canned two
shots from the three point zone.
Eastern reeled off ten points
with five of those coming when
Norman Brown fouled out and
was assessed with two technical
fouls. Dave Wisniewski then
hit all five charity shots to give
EMC a 77-54 lead.
Seconds after the
technicals, Les Giamona and
Bill Bakamus went a round and
the Giamona and Jerry
Williams were ejected with 6:24
left on the clock. The
Yellowjackets made their last
nine points at the line to seal the
win.
On Saturday night
Wisniewski and Osborne put in
20 points apiece and Giamona
added 17 to help the
Yellowjackets sting Seattle
Pacific by a 16 point margin.
Eastern took an 18-17 lead
during the first half and were
up by five at the half, 33-28.
The Falcons held close through
most of the second half until
EMC came up with a 12-6 spurt
and then made 11 in a row to
put the game away.
Osborne was the leading
point-getter for the week
averaging 19 a game and hit a
career-high 28 points against
UPS. Mark Monteith made 51
points and also had his highest
game at Eastern against the
Loggers with 23 points.
Giamona made his first
start this week and the third
highest scorer with 37 points.
Wisniewski followed with 34.
*Eastern's triumph over
Seattle Pacific gave the Jackets
a 14-11 overall record and
marks the 16th winning season
in a row. EMC now has a 3-5
league record and is fifth in the
Great Northwest Conference.

PEACE Special Work
CORPS For Special People
Peace Corps volunteers are people
pretty much like you. People with com-mitment
and skills who have assessed their
lives and decided they want to be of ser-vice
to others in a troubled world.
The problems our volunteers deal
with overseas aren't new. Such as the cycle
of poverty that traps one generation after
another because they're too busy holding
on to get ahead. The debilitating effects
of malnutrition, disease, and lack of
shelter. Education and skills that are lack-ing,
and the means to get them too.
Your college training qualifies you
to handle more of these problems than you
might think. Such as teaching nutrition
and health practices; designing and
building bridges and irrigation systems;
working on reforestation and fisheries
programs; introducing better agricultural
techniques; advising small businesses and
establishing cooperatives; or teaching
math and science at the secondary level.
The number of jobs to do is near-ly
as great as the number of volunteers
who have served since 1961: Nearly
90,000. More volunteers are being chosen
now for two-year assignments beginning
in the next 3-12 months in Africa, Asia,
Latin America, and the Pacific.
Our representatives will be pleased
to discuss the opportunities with you.

after October 1, 1975, consider spending a couple
of years in the Army.
If you train for certain specialties, the govern-ment
will release you from 1/3 of your indebtedness
(or $1,500, whichever is greater) for each year of
active duty.
Obviously, a three-year enlistment cancels 100%
of your debt. But if you sign up for the Army's exclusive
two-year enlistment option, we'll still cancel 2/3 of
your debt.

New Volunteer
Program at EMC
to Help Prevent
Child Abuse
A new program at Eastern
Montana College will use
volunteers to work with
families to try to prevent child
abuse.
The program, Volunteers for
Families in Stress, is funded for
nine months by a $26,361 grant
from the Department of Health
and Human Services, says
James Corson, project
coordinator. Director is Dr.
Billie Thomas of Eastern, who
applied for the grant following
her work with other child abuse
programs.
"The goal is to recruit
community volunteers who will
befriend an abusive parent"
Corson says. "The volunteer
will be a friend they can turn to,
that they can talk to about
problems. The person could
serve as a role model or a friend
to learn some parenting skills
from." Volunteers, who will
receive -training under- the
program, will not be asked to
provide therapy, he stresses.
Although this is the first
program of its kind in

Montana, similar programs in
other parts of the country have
proved that "a warm and caring
volunteer can play a vital role
in breaking the established
cycle of abuse" Corson says.
"Abusive parents are often
isolated, with no one to talk to.
They may not be aware of
better ways to do things."
Families in need will be
referred from the Yellowstone
County Child Protective
Service and the Battered
Spouses program, Corson says.
Corson, married and the
father of two children, spent
31/2 years as director of the
Billings Voice for Children. He
also has been a social worker
for the Big Horn County
Department of Public Welfare.
He also has worked with the

Once again, the time has come for the student body to
exercise its right to vote. Included in this issue are the
photos and platforms of those students running for the
positions of president, vice president, or business manager
of the ASEMC student government. This diverse
selection of candidates offers many realms of interest and
experience to the students. Because of the time and effort
these candidates put into their campaigns, the least EMC
students can do is show their respect by casting ballots.
The last student election had an almost ignored voter
turnout of 14.7 percent (632 of 4276 possible students).
Unfortunately, that 14.7 percent voter turnout was "the best
turnout we've ever had" according to Lowell Dunlop, dean
of students.
This figure speaks loudly for the amount of student
apathy on the Eastern campus.
Consequently, it is time students made the effort to find
voting tables. The RETORT goes to the trouble to inform
everyone of the candidates up for election, by printing their
photos and platforms. In fact, these are promptly displayed
at the voting tables. It takes only a few minutes to read
through each platform and come to a decision.
Take a little time to show some interest in your student
and campus activities. Any attempt is noticed and greatly
appreciated.
Maybe, in this election, that 14.7 percent can become a
thing of the past.

Student Interest
Needed in EMC
Student Voting
Linda Guckeen
There's a rising controversy
about whether colleges should
offer remedial courses to their
freshmen students. The
opinion is that students should
have learned these basics in
high school, and that colleges
should not offer remedial
courses as a method of filtering
out undesirable students. This
is evidently an unthought-out
theory, as the college
environment is constantly
changing with the overall
economy.
The traditional student aged
18-22 may not be the most
desirable. Some students are
just not ready for college
immediately after high school
graduation and may want to
work a few years before
continuing their educations.
With rising life expectancies
and statistics indicating that
people change their careers up
to five times or more in a
lifetime, what's the rush to be
president of the corporation?
Many students who lack
guidance and motivation, and
who do poorly in high school,
may, after a stint in the outside
world, come to the realization
that they are ready for more
education. Intelligence as
measured by IQ tests and
entrance exams is not
necessarily an accurate
measure of predicting
performance. Psychological
studies indicate that there is a
trade-off between intelligence
and motivational attitude.
Whereas a highly intelligent
student with a poor attitude
may do failing work, a low IQ
student with a positive attitude
can do superior work.
Furthermore, grades and
intelligence quotients are
meaningless in the real world;
for here, performance is all that
counts.
In Japanese factories, the
young, physically fit and strong
do the most strenuous work. As
the workers age, they take on
less physically demanding jobs.
In the process, they're
constantly trained and
retrained for as many related
jobs as possible, making them
highly efficient and versatile.
This is not to say that we should
copy Japanese methods (for
their education system with
"exam hell" is much more
stringent than ours), but we
could use those methods that
work for us here.
Let's not forget one
significant change in our
economy, working women:
displaced, divorced and
unskilled. To further
complicate this, the aging, the
unemployed and computer
technology indicate a new
important need for re-educating
our populace.
Statistics forecast that while
presently information is
doubling every five to six years,
by the year 2000, information
will double every 35 days.
Computer technology appears
to be directed at our youth and
is introduced as early as the
third grade in our elementary
schools. What about the older
people of our society; are they
to be left out? What chance
does this give those who have
finished their educations years
ago to be competitive in the
computer technology which is
taking over the world?
And why even try to increase
our life expectancies if it merely
means that the aged will dole
off the Social Security System
for the extra years their lives
are increased? If we want to live
longer, we need to be
productive longer and to
change with the times.
It's time to start undoing the
damage our educations system
did to pre-1970s educated
women, who were led to believe
they didn't have the capacity or
need for certain realms of
thought such as the hard
sciences. It's time to welcome
back all non-traditional
students to the world of
education. Just because they
didn't have the motivation or
opportunity to pursue and/ or
succeed in the past doesn't
mean they are hopeless.
Psychological studies indicate
that older people have a
capacity to learn comparable
with the young: it just takes a
bit longer because they have
stored-up knowledge to move
around in order to assimilate
the new. Thus, they're not so
apt to jump to quick
conclusions.
Also, why is there such a
passion that our youth are the
most desirable students? Child
labor laws and mandatory
education levels were created
mainly to keep the youth out of
the labor market so there
would be more jobs for the rest
of the population.
We need to re-think our
educational system. With a
declining 18-22 year old
population and enrollment
level, and an increasing non-traditional
population entering
college, remedial classes may
be the best method of transition
for those students who have
been absent from the classroom
for an extended period of time.
The students pay for them
without credit. The little
encouragement and confidence
offered through remedial
classes in the beginning may
even help colleges maintain
enrollment levels. In the long
run, the country may be able to
maintain educational and
technological competition with
the other countries by making
use of resources which
otherwise may remain
dormant.

(NOCR) Coed fraternities
are gaining strength away from
their traditional East Coast
home. At Stanford U., male
and female members of the
Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity
decided recently to relinquish
their national affiliation rather
than stop admitting women.
The fraternity began accepting
female members in 1973. Ten
Northwestern U. students
recently founded that school's
first coeducational Greek
group. Chi Omega Rho will
hold its own separate rush
and hopes to have a house next
year.
A computer error sent bills
to all 404 midyear graduates of
Marquette U. The students
were informed that their
diplomas would be withheld
until they paid past-due fees.
Only 60 of the seniors were
supposed to get the warnings.
The university apologized-also
by mail-to the grads who got
the letters accidentally.
NOCO the penguin is the
symbol of an effort to unite
residents of seven North
Complex dormitories on the
Michigan State U. campus.
Two students created the bird,
whose friendly face has shown
up on mailbox stickers,
publicity posters, and in person
at a dining hall. NOCO is
helping to promote joint
recreational activities, which
residence hall officals hope
will create a greater sense of
identity for the North Complex
dorms.
College gift certificates
didn't go over too big this year,
but will probably be back next
Christmas season. Greenfield
(MA) Community College sold
about 40 of its certificates,
good for tuition, textbooks, or
other campus expenses.
Creighton sold 20 certificates
good for non-credit classes.
Both schools said they waited
too late in the season to
promote the idea and will get
an earlier start next year.

CANDIDATES FOR ASEMC ELECTION
Photos by Annette Soria
Presidential
Candidates
Jane DeGroot
Campaigning for office and
fulfilling the duties of office
relate directly to the skills I
have developed as a third year
communications major. I
would like to utilize these skills
by facilitating communication
between ASEMC and the
student body. This would
enable me to more accurately
represent the views of the
student body in student
government and to the
administration. I would like to
see the student body more
closely involved with its
government and would hope
that I could be of service in
accomplishing this.
Public relations is a large
part of the President's job, and
public relations is an area in
which I plan to seek
employment. I have prior
experience in public relations
and in holding office from
serving as secretary, vice
president, and president of an
area fine arts organization;
working in a small town bank;
and working on a county
newspaper. I am currently vice
president of the Non-
Traditional Students' Organi-zation,
and in this capacity
have worked with the EMC
administration. Another
valuable communication skill
is public speaking; I was the
winner of the 1981 EMC
Speech Contest and feel that
this kind of ability can greatly
enhance any office.
I view holding the office of
President and contending with
the issues facing ASEMC as a
challenge to be enjoyed,
learned from, and successfully
met, to the best of my ability.

Once again, the time has
come to elect an Executive
Cabinet for the upcoming year.
Student Government on
Eastern's campus consists of
Sixteen Senators, a business
manager, Vice-President,
President, and various other
committees. The people
holding the positions of Bs.
Mgr., V.P., and Pres. make up
the "Executive Cabinet." I will
be the only person seeking to
return to the executive cabinet.
Both the President and Bs.
tanager will be graduating. I
will be giving up my position of
Vice-President to seek the
position of President. It's
important to have this
experience at the head of
Student Government.
Most of what directly affects
us as students happens right
here on campus. Having served
on Student Government for
two years, one as a senator and
the other as vice-president, I
feel I know the students,
faculty, and administrators
who make Eastern what it is. I
will be able to take this
knowledge and keep these
acquaintances I've made as
Vice President into the office of
ASEMC President. With your

Vice-President
Candidates
Mike Birch
I am running for Vice
President because I feel I have
the experience and the
potential needed to run an
effective organization. For the
past two years I have been a
Senator for ASEMC and have
learned a lot from the various
meetings. In my personal
opinion, I feel ASEMC
meetings could be handled
more efficiently with better
organization. I have that type
of potential.
I want to encourage all EMC
students to vote February 16,
and be involved.

Cathy Butts
Hi, I'm Cathy Butts and I
want to work for you, the
student body of EMC, as your
vice-president. This will be my
third year at Eastern, and I will
be a fifth year senior with time
to devote to your needs. As a
past student senator at a junior
college, I feel I have a good
working experience with
Student government. Presently
I am a ROTC cadet and
secretary-treasurer of Psi Chi.
Your Student activity fee -
everyone pays this and I would
like to see everyone benefit
from the use of the fee. Money
is always top on the list of any
candidate's campaign. I am
open to suggestions of how you
would like to have your funds
distributed. More major
curriculums and more graduate
programs are a few of the
things I would like to look into.
Through working part time
and going to college, I feel I
have gained a good working
relationship with people.
If you have any ideas,
suggestions or thoughts on
your student government and if
I am elected to the vice-presidency,
my door will
always be open. I want to work
for you! Please vote for me on
Feb. 16.
Connie Lacy
I am a Junior working
toward a degree in Elementary
Education. My family and I
have lived in Billings for 18
years. During that time I have
been active in church, school
accomplish: I would like to
work toward a centralized
student advisory system in each
department. I would like to
enhance the public image of
our college. I will be available
to the student body to better
represent their views. And
lastly, I wish to get the total
student body involved in
Eastern and Eastern's
activities.
ASEMC. I would also be the
chairperson of the Ways and
Means Committee of Student
Senate and, therefore, be
responsible for the ASEMC
budgets. This would include
advising the student govern-ment
of all income and
expenditures of student funds.
My prior involvement in
campus organizations has
brought me to the conclusion
that student monies should be
allocated and spent in the most
justifiable way possible.
Although I may not have as
much pertinent experience as
my opponent, I feel I have an
objective attitude, enthusiasm,
and dedication needed to fill
the position of ASEMC
Business Manager.
Mike Dallas
You, the students, deserve a
dedicated Vice President. Open
communication between senate
and the student body is
essential because your concerns
cannot be addressed unless you
make them known. If elected, I
would keep regularly scheduled
office hours. Officers in the
past have not done this and,.
thus, were not always available
to the students.
Some previous officers have
also held outside jobs. This
takes time that should be
'devoted to helping the students
of EMC.
I feel I am well qualified for
this position. I have been
involved in many campus-wide
activities and organizations.
These include accounting club,
Alpha Psi Kappa, being a
member of EMC's track and
cross country teams, serving on
Rec. Activities council and a
current senator. Your money is
paying the ASEMC officer's
salaries.
Get the most for your
money! Vote Mike Dallas for
Vice President.

Billie Miller
The position of ASEMC
Business Manager for the 1983-
84 year appeals to me because I
am an accounting major.
During the past 2 years I have
served as a student senator and
been on the Senate Ways &
Means Committee. I am well
acquainted with the needs of
both traditional and non-traditional
students as I have
lived in the dorms for the past 3
years and been actively
involved as a Board member of
the Triangle Day Care Center.
At registration, each full-time
student pays an activity
fee of $20 per quarter, resulting
in approximately $200,000 per
year for your Student
Government to allocate to
various activities and
organizations on EMC's
campus. If elected, I would do
my best to see that this money is
spent so students would receive
the maximum benefits. My
past experience qualifies me for
the Business Manager position.
I have maintained a cumulative
GPA of 3.53 and am employed
by the Accounting Department
in the Accounting Lab. I have
also been active in the
Accounting Club.
Your vote on February 16th
would be greatly appreciated.
Keep Red Cross
ready.

As vice-president of the St.

I worked in organizing

successful fund raising drives.
One of these drives resulted in

While secretary for the

Billings Business Community.
I feel this fund-raising
experience will give me a better
insight as Vice-President

is the dispersement of funds.

THE WEEK Kid prayer, Lobby
Day, and Spam art
Gary Anderson
Do you still believe in
waltzes, love songs, dreams
coming true, happy endings?
That's what I like about
Valentine's Day. Hope your
heart was set aflame.
On with generic news:
Okay, so forcing students in the
classroom to pray should be
illegal. But is forcing them not
to pray an answer? Probably
not. Alabama has been
struggling with the problem
more than anyone recently.
Last week Supreme Court
Justice Powell banned, I
repeat, banned Alabama
teachers from leading prayers
in classrooms. Granted
separation of church and state
should be more clearly stated.
The constitution does not come
right out and say that prayer is
not allowed in public schools.
Without getting terribly saintly
here, knowing the power of
God, I doubt that you can stop
a kid from praying when he
wants to. A good Christian
doesn't force his beliefs
anyway.
Print spoof of the week: Side by
side stories in Last Friday's
Gazette: "Film on nuclear war
set Tuesday" also "Women's
Aglow meets Thursday." This
brings up the old fact, "Nuke
now, Glow later."
If you get a chance, thank the
kids who went up to Helena on
Tuesday for Lobby Day. Sure
it was a free trip and excused
absence, but it was also a long
bus ride. Those folks spent the
whole day talking to the state
legislature and requesting
money in specific areas for our
school. It must be a dream, no
matter how low on the ladder
you are in life, to have the
power to even almost persuade
your government. Getting up at
3:00 in the morning to do it,
however, is not a dream.
I saw a crosswalk guard the
other day with his winter parka
lying on the ground beside the
stop sign. It was, oh, 55 degrees

had stolen his flourescent
orange vest. Does he realize
how good he has had it this
winter? Average temp so far in
the winter months of 1983 has
been about 40-45 degrees. I had
to double check the news-paper's
name after reading the
forecast for last Thursday and
make sure it wasn't San Diego's
home newspaper. "Warm and
windy today,' high 60." Yup,
The Billings Gazette. I went to

"Murder Most
Fowl" Entertains at
Calamity Janes
Nick Campbell
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Murder Most Fowl, a
murder-mystery musical
comedy playing at Calamity
Janes through March 5, will
keep you clucking with its on-stage
hi-jinx.
Written by Tracy Maryfield
and Todd Yeager, Murder Most
Fowl is the story of a wealthy
chicken tycoon and the guests
he has invited to his mansion,
Fowl Manors. Sir Egbert
Henway is mysteriously
murdered in act one and all of
his guests are suspects.
Henway is played pluckily by
Todd Yeager. Karen Yeager
portrays Mrs. Debleuse,
Henway's sinister housekeeper.
Together these two support this
production.
Lloyd Hagen does a
tolerable job as Sir Henway's
Oriental houseboy. He is the
subject of many corny Chinese
jokes.
Major Frederick Muck-bottom
is played by Neal
Roberts. Muckbottom is
Henway's old friend who
rattles on and on about his
numerous escapades. Roberts
However, Roberts does have
that air of an English officer.
Reggie Bounderfield is
Rosalie Henway's (Egbert's
daughter) dance instructor,
who is having an affair with
Egbert's wife, Tracy Mayfield
captures the sophisticated look
of an English bachelor in this
role, but his accent is lacking
and he could use a lot of help in
his singing. Again, why does he
sing when he can't even hum a
tune? Possibly these musical
numbers could be delted and
save the audience's ears.
Marilyn Combs is the
promiscuous Lady Trixie St.
John Henway, Egbert's horny
wife. Combs has the scuddy
personality down pat in
playing Trixie the nympho-maniac.
Unfortunately, her
singing is awful and
unnecessary. Mayfield and
Yeager could have easily left
the bad voices out of the songs.
Kathleen Folty is Rosalie,
who can neither dance nor sing,
but, at least, is portrayed that
way. She is also having an
affair with Reggie.
The Yeagers make this show
work. Karen's singing is grand.
She belts out a helluva tune.
Her funeral number is
hilarious. Todd also really gets
into the music. he also portrays
Egbert's Inspector brother and
his sister, Dame Agatha
Henway. The Inspector
chasing after the maid is quite
comical. Their rolling around
on the stage is typical of their
chaotic humor.
The play is definitely Yeager
style, with some offbeat humor
from Mayfield. It is written to
work specifically on the
Calamity Jane stage.
Lynda McCleary directs this
production. The scenes are
somewhat jumbled, especially
in the first act. A little more
coaching from the director
would smooth these rough
spots. McCleary is also
costume designer but must
have neglected this area,
because much of the actors'
attire is too large. This aspect
does provide some extra

cannot sing, so why make him?
His rendition of "Mad Dogs

Jackets Capture Three
in Home Finale
Eastern Streaks by Rocky
Bob McClintock
Eastern successfully
finished off their final home
stand of the 1982-83 season
with three victories (two in
conference play) in action-packed
games at the
Yellowstone Metra last week.
The Yellowjackets won
their first game by streaking
past Rocky Mountain College
67-57, slugged it out with Puget
Sound for a 93-79 decision, and
then handcuffed Seattle Pacific
for an 89-73 win.
In the first contest of the
week last Tuesday, EMC used a
nine point surge midway
through the first half to take a
23-14 lead. The two teams then
swapped baskets until the last
minute of the half, when EMC
poured in six points for a 35-22
intermission advantage.
After a Bear (or bare) fan
demonstrated his inter-pretation
of a fast break at the
11:45 mark, Eastern unleashed
eight straight points to take a
51-34 lead. The pace of the
game opened up in the last
seven minutes as the Jackets
rolled in 18 points and Bears
made 23, giving Eastern a 10
point margin victory.
Physical was the key word
in Eastern's Thursday night
triumph over Puget Sound.
UPS and EMC compiled 53
fouls, four technicals
(including one for throwing toy
balls at the referees), had a
bench clearing brawl, and by
the end of the game, six players
were on the bench.
The matchup started out
at a fast pace with the Jackets
grabbing a 19-10 advantage
with 13:10 left in the first half.
From there the Loggers were
held to only outside shots and
Eastern capitalized on
defensive rebounds to move to
a 47-36 halftime lead.
The game see-sawed back
and forth until the 11:37 mark
when Ron Osborne canned two
shots from the three point zone.
Eastern reeled off ten points
with five of those coming when
Norman Brown fouled out and
was assessed with two technical
fouls. Dave Wisniewski then
hit all five charity shots to give
EMC a 77-54 lead.
Seconds after the
technicals, Les Giamona and
Bill Bakamus went a round and
the Giamona and Jerry
Williams were ejected with 6:24
left on the clock. The
Yellowjackets made their last
nine points at the line to seal the
win.
On Saturday night
Wisniewski and Osborne put in
20 points apiece and Giamona
added 17 to help the
Yellowjackets sting Seattle
Pacific by a 16 point margin.
Eastern took an 18-17 lead
during the first half and were
up by five at the half, 33-28.
The Falcons held close through
most of the second half until
EMC came up with a 12-6 spurt
and then made 11 in a row to
put the game away.
Osborne was the leading
point-getter for the week
averaging 19 a game and hit a
career-high 28 points against
UPS. Mark Monteith made 51
points and also had his highest
game at Eastern against the
Loggers with 23 points.
Giamona made his first
start this week and the third
highest scorer with 37 points.
Wisniewski followed with 34.
*Eastern's triumph over
Seattle Pacific gave the Jackets
a 14-11 overall record and
marks the 16th winning season
in a row. EMC now has a 3-5
league record and is fifth in the
Great Northwest Conference.

PEACE Special Work
CORPS For Special People
Peace Corps volunteers are people
pretty much like you. People with com-mitment
and skills who have assessed their
lives and decided they want to be of ser-vice
to others in a troubled world.
The problems our volunteers deal
with overseas aren't new. Such as the cycle
of poverty that traps one generation after
another because they're too busy holding
on to get ahead. The debilitating effects
of malnutrition, disease, and lack of
shelter. Education and skills that are lack-ing,
and the means to get them too.
Your college training qualifies you
to handle more of these problems than you
might think. Such as teaching nutrition
and health practices; designing and
building bridges and irrigation systems;
working on reforestation and fisheries
programs; introducing better agricultural
techniques; advising small businesses and
establishing cooperatives; or teaching
math and science at the secondary level.
The number of jobs to do is near-ly
as great as the number of volunteers
who have served since 1961: Nearly
90,000. More volunteers are being chosen
now for two-year assignments beginning
in the next 3-12 months in Africa, Asia,
Latin America, and the Pacific.
Our representatives will be pleased
to discuss the opportunities with you.

NEED HELP WITH
YOUR STUDENT LOAN?
If you've attended college on a Guaranteed
Student Loan or a National Direct Student Loan made
after October 1, 1975, consider spending a couple
of years in the Army.
If you train for certain specialties, the govern-ment
will release you from 1/3 of your indebtedness
(or $1,500, whichever is greater) for each year of
active duty.
Obviously, a three-year enlistment cancels 100%
of your debt. But if you sign up for the Army's exclusive
two-year enlistment option, we'll still cancel 2/3 of
your debt.
Plus, you may be eligible for generous educational
incentives.
To find out how to serve your country and get out
of debt, call the number below.
